The World of Warcraft Plague and COVID

By Justin McElroy, Dr. Sydnee McElroy

How it affected the digital world was used as a model for how people might behave during an actual real-life pandemic. Well . . . we’ve got that real-life pandemic now. So how did it actually play out (and is still playing out) versus how it went in-game?
